I'm using version 2.1, dated March '86. Thanks much (btw - it's for a zone not physically in this building, so it's more than a matter of convenience.) I have a question on a related topic. How is one supposed to rename other Network resources besides printers. I have a shiva NetSerial on an AppleTalk network and would like to give it a more descriptive name. The shiva NetSerial software distribution did not include a utility for renaming the boxes. Is there a utility that is capable of renaming devices from different vendors. -- Tero Nieminen Tampere University of Technology n67786@cc.tut.fi Tampere, Finland, Europe
